Private Pandemonium
by Frank Owen
The stuttering, stratospheric strain of some anonymous trance track blares in the cool night air, and smoke billows from the engine room of a rusty, rain-slicked tugboat plowing its way up the choppy waters of the Harlem River. As we chug by Highbridge Park and under the George Washington Bridge, 18-year-old high school student Ben S. points out to the assembled revelers the verdant spot down the hill where he helps Machinelf, the boat event's host, put on outdoor outlaw parties at the edges of this largely Dominican neighborhood.
"The atmosphere is very hippy-dippy," allows Ben about these clandestine affairs, where banners featuring giant alien heads are unfurled, and sci-fi and psychedelic images are projected under the arches, creating a dramatic backdrop for dancing and dining alfresco. "It's like having a communal picnic in the middle of the night. If you bring food, it becomes everybody's food; if you bring beer, it becomes everybody's beer; if you light a joint, it becomes everybody's joint. There's a feeling of complete freedom."
"We only have two rules," chimes in amateur chemist, Machinelf (so named after the angelic entities that ethnobotanist Terence McKenna claims guide the DMT user during a trip). "Leave no trace and be as respectful to the police and neighbors as possible."
Give Rudy Giuliani some credit. Ten years ago, the sight of 200 gaily attired ravers happily strolling down 181st Street at four in the morning, carrying sleeping bags and heading toward a darkened park, would have been most unusual, but now it is a common occurrence during the warm weather. While the mayor's heavy-handed clampdown on downtown nightspots has turned the regular clubs into burned-out shells of their former flamboyant glory, paradoxically, his successful war on street crime has opened up whole new party zones in uptown and outer-borough neighborhoods previously regarded as too dangerous for middle-class honky hipsters. All across town, not only in neighborhoods like DUMBO and Williamsburg, but also in places like Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, East New York, and the South Bronx, there's a boom in word-of-mouth parties at unconventional locations (lofts, warehouses, boats, bridges), as night crawlers abandon the public spaces of the clubs for cozier spots where they can get down and boogie without feeling Big Brother is constantly watching their every move. Away from mainstream nightclubbing, and largely under the media radar, a new DIY spirit (after all, anyone with two arms can spin records) has taken hold among crews like Blackkat, Touched-by-a-DJ, Matter/:Form, the Madagascar Institute, and Freeskool, whose members throw small-scale, off-the-beaten-track bashes that attempt to reignite the festive and creative spirit so lacking from the large dance halls.
"People are tired of the drama," says Touched-by-a-DJ's Curt Ashley. "They've had one too many bad experiences. They'd rather go somewhere more intimate and be among friends and listen to good music without all the hassle."
"What's driving this phenomenon," agrees Ben S.'s uncle, techno promoter Matt E. Silver, "is that people are bored shitless with the clubs. Young people still want to go out and party. But because of Giuliani, they can't do it at Twilo or the Tunnel anymore."
Back on board the floating chill-out room, the boat takes a sharp left at Inwood Hill Park before anchoring off the Palisades that loom like some primeval forest in the moonlight. The chattering party-goers—drawn from the more philosophical end of the post-rave movement, the type of folks who lecture you about how unnatural cocaine is compared to MDMA—immediately disrobe and dive butt naked into the Hudson River. "Anabolic fluid! Anabolic fluid!" screams Machinelf, his bobbing head barely visible in the murk.
On the deck, which doubles as a dance-floor, a red-haired Irish woman named Orla explains the appeal of these illicit parties over established discos. "You can create your own atmosphere. You don't have it dictated to you."
With obnoxious bouncers ordering you around, obtrusive body searches, cookie-cutter environments, capricious door policies, and the same old music, not to mention the pervasive paranoia bred by the constant surveillance of the state, going out clubbing in New York is now more of an ordeal than a pleasure. These days clubs seem primarily like playgrounds for annoying Wall Streeters, steroid-pumped muscle boys, and callow teenagers looking for cheap chemical thrills. No wonder that nightlife insiders tend to shun the large-scale venues.
Maverick musician and nightlife veteran Moby is old enough to remember a time when New York clubland was an important cultural institution, not just a place to ogle aspiring models, get drunk on overpriced cocktails, and strain one's neck in the vain hope of catching a glimpse of some tacky celebrity.
"I rarely ever go to big nightclubs in New York anymore," said Moby, who has been going out in Gotham since the days of the Mudd Club. "I'm fed up with gigantic clubs where you get treated like shit. The vast majority of times I've gone out in the last few years has either been to loft parties or roof parties. The sound system isn't that good. The DJ isn't that special. You have to bring your own beer. But the atmosphere at house parties is better, because you're not being manhandled by a 300-pound gorilla."
Moby sees house parties as antidotes to the sterile conformity and lack of personality of the mainstream clubs and lounges, where buzz, money, and celebrity are valued above creativity and originality.
"The reason most of my friends like house parties is they know Donald Trump isn't going to be there," he continued. "House parties are the antithesis of trendy lounges. You go up in a freight elevator. You pay five bucks or nothing to get in. No one asks to see your ID or if you're on the list. Most people are dressed down. And everybody is sweaty."
But not all house parties are created equal. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the bare-bones affairs that Moby is talking about to elaborate costume extravaganzas like the hoity-toity Goth galas that House of St. Eve sometimes throws, where a select group of invitees sip absinthe while dressed as romantic characters from myth and legend; or the nouveau riche blowouts that playboy-millionaire Jonathan Leitersdorf used to stage in his swanky Lower Broadway penthouse apartment, where monied party freaks sipped champagne and danced until dawn under the chandeliers of the impressive Mediterranean-style villa-cum-disco—complete with gardens, swimming pool, and spectacular wraparound views of Manhattan—that Leitersdorf thoughtfully constructed on the roof of his cavernous bachelor pad.
Of course, house parties have always been around—but a few years back, they began to occupy a bigger part of the nighttime landscape. For a while, the dotcom bubble financed this trend. "The Internet expansion fueled the bigger parties," says DJ Sean B, whose well-regarded Freeskool parties are a regular pit stop on the current scene. "You had all these young, creative people with money in their pockets. That was a big spur," he said. While Pseudo, for instance, eventually went bankrupt, the parties at the start-up's offices—multimedia orgies of drugs, technology, and too much cash that sometimes lasted for days—proved a far bigger hit than the service (Internet television) the company was supposed to provide.
But Moby is right. Most of the current parties are resolutely low-budget, underground events. "It's all about building these small communities," continues Sean B. "Each party has its following, which is built by e-mail and word-of-mouth. You need people who support you and feel strongly about what you're doing. It's the same spirit as the early rave parties."
The night before Machinelf's boat party, Blackkat, a DJ collective that sprang from the squats of the Lower East Side and which has thrown parties everywhere from East Timor to East New York, is staging a bash called "Depth Charge"—promoted on their Web site as "an up-all-night Mermaid underwater adventure"—in a large set-design studio at the unfashionable end of Park Slope. On the windy roof deck, with forks of lightning providing the dramatic lighting effects, a 30-foot-high homemade metal swing—held together with weights and bits of duct tape—spins brave party-goers in 360-degree circles, threatening to catapult them into the nearby Gowanus Canal. Inside, circus performers and break-dancers, anarchists and artists—folks generally tired of the commercialized nightlife scene—rub shoulders as DJ Chrome lays down the sort of experimental sounds not normally heard in mainstream venues. Suddenly, the surrounding streets are filled with flashing fire engines. The Blackkat crew has some unwelcome guests—firemen in heavy plastic coats and helmets, looking for code violations. Chrome escorts them through the throng, and after a brief inspection, the firemen decide everything is fine and leave the party undisturbed.
"We try to behave like responsible adults," says Chrome's partner, Jason Blackkat, also a DJ. "We work hard to create a safe and creative environment. We make sure fire exits are clearly marked, there's a working sprinkler system, and there's no flammable material in the space. And we're very respectful of the surrounding neighborhood."
Blackkat threw its first parties in 1996 at the 5th Street Homestead, between avenues A and B. The next year, cops raided the squat and allowed city workers to demolish the place. Blackkat sued the city and eventually won an out-of-court settlement. Forced out of lower Manhattan, Blackkat relocated to Brooklyn, where it now throws parties practically every weekend. "More and more, the parties have spread out from Williamsburg deeper and deeper into Brooklyn."
What Blackkat and their ilk do is illicit, but whether it's actually illegal is a moot point. They try to stay within the appropriate laws and ordinances. For instance, for each event, they purchase a one-night beer-and-wine license. But when does a private gathering cross over the line to become an illegal public assembly? "The laws pertaining to public assembly are deliberately vague," says DJ Chrome. "A lot of it is up to the individual policeman. Different cops tell you different things. Some say you need a public assembly permit or a cabaret license, other's say because it's private, you don't."
One argument that club owners use to protest the crackdown on their establishments is that it forces party-goers into illegal and dangerous spaces. Yet the atmosphere at the house parties feels a lot safer than most big discos. These are overwhelmingly peaceful and friendly events, where displays of excessive intoxication are relatively rare. But occasionally trouble rears its ugly head. This past May, Connecticut teenager William Jouannes was stabbed and beaten at one of the under-the-bridge raves in Washington Heights after he decided to confront a bunch of hooded party crashers who had just jacked his backpack. Despite a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, the lucky raver survived.
After being shut down by the Social Club Task Force—originally formed in the wake of the Happyland fire—on several occasions for various minor infractions, Blackkat are sick and tired of being hassled by the authorities. "Freedom of assembly is being denied on a regular basis by the city and the NYPD based on a general xenophobia for something they don't understand," contends Jason. "In any real democracy there should be a place for young people to come together on their own terms and just have fun. You can't deny people's need to dance. They will always do this—they can't stop it and it's asinine to try."

A recent article in the December 2 issue of CFO.com discusses the growing area of Risk Analytics. While the article mentions some pretty futuristic-sounding possibilities related to predictive risk modelling (and the role of concepts like Big Data and Game Theory), it certainly makes you think about how today's technology will change the way audit and compliance works in the future.
Data analytics has been part of audit and compliance for decades, and while not always used to its fullest, it has certainly become a recognized and standard practice in the industry. Historically, the use of data analytics for audit and compliance has been focused on exception-based analytics (mine through this mass of data to identify exceptions that don't comply with the purchasing authorization policy, for example). While this type of analysis is great, and can contribute to that "needle in the haystack" audit finding, it's all focused on things that have happened in the past.
Over the last several years, I've started to see more and more audit and compliance functions also begin to apply data analytics to risk assessment processes. This is particularly becoming more common in large, decentralized organizations where there are a lot of auditable entities (e.g., brick-and-mortar store locations, service offices, branches). The concept being if audit/compliance is able to identify changes to key risk indicators closer to real-time, then resource allocation can be aligned with those changing risks (and not simply based on a periodic, static, risk assessment). While not many organizations are doing it yet, I'm hearing extremely positive feedback from those that do.
Are you doing any form of automated data analytics to feed your risk assessment process today? Is it on your agenda for this year? Have you started moving to any of the predictive concepts discussed in the CFO article?

Common COVID-19 Myths Debunked
How to spot a falsehood and where you can fact check
Rush Content Hub
COVID-19 has been around for most of 2020, and we're learning more about the disease every day. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of misinformation circulating on the internet and social media.
It can be easy to jump down a rabbit hole of fake news when surfing the web or scrolling through your Facebook or Twitter feed. This misinformation can lead to paranoia and can even cause someone to try something dangerous in an effort to cure or prevent COVID-19.
How do you tell fact from fiction? The answer is simpler than you think: Do your own research.
When you see a post on social media, don't assume it's true. It's OK to question a post and search for answers on your own. Reading news from trusted news sites and medical system websites like rush.edu is a great way to stay informed without being misled. And if you see a story online that appears accurate but still seems far-fetched, use websites like Snopes, factcheck.org or the AP fact check page to verify the story's accuracy before you start sharing it with others.
The truth behind common COVID-19 myths
While it's always important to do your own research, for your convenience we have compiled a list of the common myths we've seen so far during the pandemic — and indicated whether or not they are valid.
COVID-19 isn't as serious as the seasonal flu.
FALSE: While most COVID-19 cases will be mild, and most patients will only show seasonal flu symptoms, this disease has a high mortality rate, specifically among older people and those who are immunocompromised.
Ordering or buying products shipped from China will make a person sick.
FALSE: There is no evidence to show that there has been transmission through packages. Officials say because of the poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures.
While you may not be experiencing symptoms, it's important to practice social distancing to protect yourself and the people around you.
Wearing a mask will protect me from COVID-19.
TRUE, BUT ...: There is evidence that wearing a mask does offer some protection for you, if worn properly (coverying your mouth and nose), but most masks do not guarantee that you'll be protected against COVID-19 infection.
However, the primary purpose of wearing a mask or face covering is to prevent you from spreading an infection to someone else. This is especially important because carriers of COVID-19 can be asymptomatic.
The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, like stores, restaurants or crowded outdoor areas.
It's important to remember that the best way to prevent COVID-19 from spreading is to stay home. If you do go out, do your part to protect yourself and others: Practice universal masking plus good hand hygiene and social distancing.
Young people can't get the virus.
FALSE: People of all ages can be infected by COVID-19. Older people and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus. Everyone should take steps to protect themselves from the virus, for example, by following good hand hygiene.
Black people can't get the virus.
FALSE: People of all races and ethnicities can be infected by COVID-19. The virus has been detected in the United States and across the world in people regardless of their race and ethnicity. Everyone should take steps to protect themselves from the virus, for example, by following good hand hygiene.
I'm healthy, so I don't need to practice social distancing.
FALSE: While you may be healthy, you could still be a carrier of the virus. You also increase your risk of getting infected and then spreading it to others who may be at a higher risk for severe illness. While you may not be experiencing symptoms, it's important to practice social distancing to protect not only yourself but the people around you.
Pets can spread the virus.
FALSE: There is no evidence to suggest that household pets are carriers of COVID-19. It is still recommended that you practice good hand hygiene after handling pets.
You can protect yourself by gargling bleach or using essential oils.
FALSE: Gargling bleach will not protect you from COVID-19 and is very dangerous, even deadly. Things that can help protect you from infection include washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, avoiding touching your face, and wiping down surfaces.
Home remedies like herbal teas, garlic, ginger and ginger ale can cure or prevent the virus.
FALSE: While doctors around the world are working on a COVID-19 vaccine, there is no cure for the virus. Home remedies are not effective against the virus. To protect yourself wash your hands regularly, stay at home and practice social distancing.
If you drink warm water, it will rinse the virus from your throat.
FALSE: There is no evidence that drinking warm water has protected people from infection with the new coronavirus. Regularly rinsing your throat has not been shown to prevent respiratory infections. Warm water with soap works best for washing hands to fight COVID-19.
Hot air/hair dryers kill the virus.
FALSE: Hand dryers are not effective in killing the COVID-19 virus. To protect yourself against the new coronavirus, you should frequently clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Once your hands are cleaned, you should dry them thoroughly by using paper towels or a warm air dryer.
The virus cannot survive in warm weather.
FALSE: While many cold/flu viruses tend to drop out during the warmer months, this has not been the case with COVID-19. In fact, many areas have experienced surges in the virus during the summer.
The virus spreads through 5G.
FALSE: Viruses cannot travel on radio waves/mobile networks. COVID-19 is spreading in many countries that do not have 5G mobile networks. COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. People can also be infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their eyes, mouth or nose.
So relax: You can still use your cellphone. You can also go old school by writing letters to loved ones, sharing recipes and cooking meals together virtually.
If I have had the COVID-19 virus and am now recovered, I am immune.
PROBABLY FALSE: Because this is a newer virus, we still have a lot to learn about it. Since we've seen cases of people testing positive for the virus weeks or months after recovering, it's likely that having COVID-19 once does not mean you cannot get the virus again.
Since immunity is not a guarantee, wash your hands, stay at home and keep your distance to protect yourself and those around you.
The COVID-19 virus is not new. There are already vaccines for it or disinfectants that can kill it.
FALSE: The current version of the coronavirus is new. To date, there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the new COVID-19 virus. There is also no disinfectant that can kill the virus.
These are just some of the myths out there. As this global pandemic continues, it's more important than ever to stay informed. Just make sure to always fact-check what you are seeing on social media before you take any actions or make any decisions for yourself or your family.

Arlington VA. – March 15, 2009 – When it's not time to sell a house, for many homeowners, it's time to remodel. Many are discovering that one of today's most economical ways of transforming an unused or unsightly space into the family's favorite gathering spot is by installing an enchanting vent-free gas fireplace for supplemental heating.
A VENT-FREE GAS FIREPLACE CAPTIVATES and invites everyone to sit, gather, and enjoy. Wherever it is placed, a vent-free fireplace becomes an instant centerpiece for any room's decor. Vent-free fireplaces come in a great variety of types, styles, and colors ranging from traditional to contemporary. Whatever your home's decor, you'll have a choice of vent-free fireplaces to bring it to a stunning new level of elegance – at a surprisingly affordable price to install and operate. Many renovation articles stress the importance of recovering renovation dollars when selling a home. Home owners find that by adding a gas fireplace to their home, they are adding value to the resale price.
VENT-FREE GAS FIREPLACES ARE ECONOMICAL because they provide 99.9 percent energy efficient heat with no need for a chimney or a hole in the wall. Because vent-free appliances do not require venting to the outside, they can safely be placed practically anywhere in a home with access to a gas line. Over 20 million American homes have vent-free gas fireplaces, logs, inserts, and space heaters that operate on natural gas or propane to provide supplementary heating.
VENT-FREE GAS FIREPLACES HAVE AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECORD. All U.S. gas code groups and 49 states allow the sale and installation of vent-free appliances. Every vent-free gas product sold in the U.S. is equipped with a precision-engineered Oxygen Detection Safety-Pilot (ODS), which automatically shuts off the gas supply if the oxygen level in the room approaches a defined minimum set by American National Standard (ANSI) Z21.11.2. Because of this and other vent-free safety features, there is no need to open a window to ventilate a vent-free gas heating appliance.
FOR A FREE COPY of the Consumer Guide to Vent-Free Gas Products – which includes detailed sizing guidelines and the results of independent studies on indoor relative humidity and indoor air quality – and other new publications on energy- and cost-savings, go to www.ventfree.org., or write to the Vent-Free Gas Products Alliance, 8225 Madrillon Estates Drive, Vienna, VA 22182.
A vent-free gas fireplace is ideal for a contemporary room decor.
Transform an unused corner into a favorite gathering place with a vent-free gas fireplace.
Vent-free gas log sets come in such wood styles as driftwood, oak, weathered oak, maple, pine, aspen, birch, and many others.

As I mentioned, Sao Paulo surprised me and one of the best aspects of the city was spending time with Angela Goldstein. When she reached out to me her intention was to take me to the Sao Paulo market although I didn't know that so I jumped in and asked if we could go.
Great minds think alike. It was such a great time.
I created this short video that I hope captures the hours we spent there. It's a bit of a different tone from my previous videos but I hope you like it.
The Sao Paulo market is a vibrant place to visit, and especially with a friend who knows her way around. It was a highlight of my trip to Sao Paulo, and is amazing even without a local guide. If you are planning to go to the Municipal Market, here are a few things that will help you know a little more about what to expect when you visit the market, and how to get there.
Where is the Municipal Market?
The market, which is usually known as Mercadao by the locals. It is located in the historic district of Sé, which is one of the oldest parts of Sao Paulo, within the original city limits.
The stunning Catedral de Sé is one of the landmarks that is fairly close to the marke. While the area around the market is not quite so grand, it is certainly a bustling area, where everything seems to revolve around the market building. The Tamanduetei River is rather underwhelming on one side of the market, but the Avenida Mercurio is a busy street with good transport connections on the north side of the market.
How to Get to the Municipal Market of Sao Paulo?
The market has good transport connections with the rest of the city. The subway is one of the best ways to get there, station Luz is the closest to the Sao Paulo market. Station Luz is on Line 1 (the blue line on the metro maps) which runs from north to south. It's only a a ten minute walk to the Municipal Market from this station.
If you'd prefer not to walk you can connect to the bus line. The nearest stop for routes to Avenida Paulista is also from the metro station at Luz. As well the bus that stops directly outside the market has connections to the Teatro Municipal and other sites around the city.
The market building dates from the late 1920s when it was designed. The market opened to the public in 1933, with the facade designed by noted architect Felisberto Ranzini.
Probably the most distinctive aspect of the design is the wonderful light in the market. This is provided by the large stained glass windows that adorn the upper areas of the walls. These draw the eyes upwards when you are inside. Italso reveals the wonderful vaulted ceiling which is another of the dramatic features in this lovely building.
A trip up to the second floor mezzanine for a drink and a bite to eat will provide the ideal spot from which to admire the architecture for a little while.
The Mercadao is primarily a food market. If you explore the stalls on the main floor early enough you'll see local cooks and chefs from some of the city's best restaurants.
There are all kinds of different local ingredients, fresh produce, preserves, grains, sauces and almost every other type of food that you could imagine here. However, when it comes to the most dramatic stalls, it is certainly the bright colours of the fruit stalls that will really stand out. It's an instagrammer's paradise with pyramids and piles of fresh fruit, some of which are familiar but with many being new for most visitors.
Do not miss the cashew fruit, did you know cashews came from a fruit?
The first key tip to remember when you are visiting the market is not to load up on the first stall that you visit. It's a rookie move. You'll find yourself carrying that bag of fruit for the rest of your visit, and that can be for a long time as there's so much to see.
Among the items worth looking out for if you fancy a snack during your visit is the mortadella sandwich. A meaty feast inside a traditional bread roll that is intimidating in its size. Another snack worth trying, is the cod pastel, a pastry stuffed with cod and diced potatoes in a parsley sauce.
There are also several stalls that sell fruit juice in the market. It's an experience on its own to try these exotic blends.
On the second floor of the market many visitors rest their tired feet after exploring the market. There are a wealth of amazing restaurants to enjoy here. These restaurants and bars make great use of the ingredients available downstairs. And you can enjoy cocktails made with fresh fruits to accompany the wonderful dishes on offer here.
I had a caipirinha where the server brought over several different options for flavours (watch the video). I also ordered a shrimp pastel, which is kind of like a giant shrimp and cheese empanada. It wasn't expensive at all.
However, some of the restaurants upstairs are upmarket meeting spots. Before you spend a fortune check the prices on the menu before taking a seat and placing your order.
A visit to the Municipal Market in Sao Paulo is no more dangerous than any other tourist attraction in the city. As long as you are vigilant, and stay on the main roads around the market you will be as safe as the thousands of other visitors in the area.
Pickpockets do operate in the area, so make sure you keep your purse or wallet and documents in an inside pocket. Make sure any valuables like cameras aren't left exposed. Many of the stalls will offer free samples, and they may try to encourage you to make a purchase having tried their wares. But if they start to get too pushy, be ready to walk away.
Have you been to Sao Paulo market? If so what was your favourite part?
Like the video! Sao Paolo is not my favourite place, but looks like having a local show you round is the way to go.
Looks like a really delicious day! Love the video.
The video's awesome. I have a craving for those Brazilian pastels now!
Sao Paulo looks like a very nice place to visit.
Great job, Ayngelina. Fun video and nice work showing the fun of this place.
Congratulations on the blog Ayngelina!
I love going to São Paulo, especially in the market where there are many varieties of food.

Constitutions Abroad :: essays research papers
The record of the coupled States of America is unique in some tracks. It is also has various similar qualities from the constitutions of other countries around the world. The constitutions of Switzerland, Poland, and Germany have commonalties with that of the United States constitution beca theatrical role they all talk about freedom and personal liberty, use the separation of powers as an effective way to run the authorities, and the elections process.Article 2 of the Swiss temper states that, The Swiss Confederation protects the liberty and obligations of the people and safeguards the license and security of the country. This article is very similar to that of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. This amendment states congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free lesson thereof or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. granting immunity and basic personal liberties such as these are widely exercised in many worldly constitutions. However, this is not the only shared characteristic that the U.S. Constitution shares with those of the rest of the world. Other countries such as Poland have the effective corpse of the separation of powers working with them, as does the United States. We all know that the separation of powers was established so that no star specific group in the government would be able to dominate our country. This concept is very overmuch like Polands way of keeping the power out of one single unit. Article 10 of the Polish Constitution statesThe system of government of the Republic of Poland shall be based on the separation of and balance amid the legislative, executive and judicial powers. Legislative power shall be vested in the abode of Representatives and the Senate, executive power shall be vested in the President of the Republic of Poland and the Council of Ministers, and the judicial power shall be vested in courts and tribunals.Because more than one country uses this order and has been successful for quite some time, it is safe to say that this particular way of running the government is fair and effective.Other effective measures have been taken by the U.S. to ensure a smoothly operated government. Much like the Constitution of the United States, the German constitution holds the law of fair, free, and secret elections.

Q: Getting the following error in R: Error: 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found I searched the site thoroughly but didn't find an answer. The script looks into a file directory and appends into a vector of filenames (which I then turn into a dataframe). For is then used to iterate through custom function which consumes as argument the file name. The parser works fine with one file name (i.e. when I force it in parser(filename) otherwise fails when runs through the for loop). So I suspect it's how I'm passing the argument.
files <- list.files(path="~/pathname", pattern="*.xml", full.names = F, recursive=FALSE)
files.df <- as.data.frame(files)
for (i in 1:nrow(files.df)) {
parser(as.character(files.df[i,]))
}

When I print(as.character(files.df[i,]), the output is as expected. Again, running the custom parser with one file name (outside the for loop) as argument works perfectly. The setwd is the same as that of where the files are read from.
Anything you may have come across before?
Update: the script worked fine yesterday with one file but now I get the same error. It seems to happen at this line:
xmlfile=xmlParse(filename, useInternalNodes = TRUE)

Read tour report and see images from the tour here.
If it is 6 Nations Rugby time you know the St. Julian´s sub 14 annual tour to Rome must be on the horizon. This year the tour took place over the second weekend in March and included the Italy v France match at the fabulous Stadio Olimpico.
Let me say from the outset, that the boys and coaches are very lucky to have the opportunity to undertake a Rugby tour to another country, and, on top of that, one of the most wonderful historic cities in the world. This is something we are very thankful to the Rugby Club for.
One of the hardest things of the tour is the Friday morning wake-up. It is an early flight and the chaps have to be at the airport at 5.15 am. On the whole, the boys did really well on getting there on time, apart from Mr Duarte Henriques who decided an extra 30 minutes sleep may help his rugby later on that evening. He was an early candidate for the pink pyjamas - a prize handed out to players for acts of particular foolishness or neglect. This is all part of a Rugby tour and adds to the team spirit and memories.
The flight to Rome was relatively smooth. However, on arrival at Rome airport, we met our bus driver who wanted to take us to another hotel from that on the tour schedule. When you are on these tours as a coach you are completely reliant on the club chairman giving you clear information. This was not immediately forthcoming and what followed was a period of uncertainty as to the precise location of our Rome lodgings. On top of this we also discovered that the chairman's son had taken one of the coach's hoodies by a mistake. This he blamed on his father. There was only one solution. After a very short court case Lucas Mount was nominated as the winner of the first Pink Pyjamas for ´Sins of the father´.
Once we located our hotel we went off for a quick pizza lunch. The locals were kind enough to sing happy birthday and to provide some cake to our first birthday boy of the tour, Afonso Portugal. After this it was on the road to Frascati, as there was the small matter of some rugby to be played. On arrival in Frascati we were met by the usual horde of Italian giants. They had about 40 boys ready to play against us and none of them were shrinking violets. We decided to play the game in two halves with two different teams.
The boys started off in typical St. Julian´s fashion … fast asleep! We were two tries down in the first five minutes. However, watching this game I got the sense that this beginning was not reflective of the capabilities of our team. So it turned out. We got ourselves back into the game and were six tries to four down at the midway point. After some inspirational substitutions from the coaching staff, we managed to dominate the second half and ran out eighteen tries to seven winners. Duarte Henriques' extra sleep did indeed come in handy, as he ran in four tries out on the wing in the second half. This would usually be great, however Duarte is a prop, and should not be anywhere near the wing. Well done to all the boys though, they really did pull through after a slow start and made us proud.
We then had a pasta supper in the club with the Frascati boys. We had some speeches, exchanges of gifts and then settled in to watch the first half of the Wales v Ireland game. The pink pyjamas was handed over to another Lucas, this time Lucas Hultén for losing his tour hoodie, claiming someone had stolen it, although it turned out to have been on the bus all along. Once back at the hotel everyone crashed under the effects of a 20 hour day.
Saturday dawned, the lads were refreshed, we had another birthday boy in the shape of Afonso Almeida Ribero and we had further places to conquer. Over the next five hours the boys took in the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Cathedral, the Vatican and many more Roman sites. All this culminated in reaching the Stadio Olimpico for the Italy v France 6 Nations game. We arrived at the stadium a little later than we wanted after some dodgy navigational skills by yours truly. Nevertheless we had a wonderful experience there and we watched a rampant French side steamroller the Italians especially in the second half.
After the game we located our bus that was supposed to take us to the Nag's Head pub to watch on the TV the big clash between England and Scotland. We did this to try and save some time as the walk from the stadium to the centre is quite taxing. With Rome traffic and a bus driver who dropped us miles from the pub, we might just as well have walked. Once I saw the score on the TV on arrival, I wish I'd stayed at Stadio Olimpico. Let´s just say that for a proud Scotsman it was not pleasant. We had a nice meal there however and the boys enjoyed watching the professionals showing their Rugby prowess. Hopefully some got inspired.
Later that night we took a leisurely walk around Rome and gave the boys some free time. During the course of the day the pink pyjamas had changed hands numerous times. It went from Lucas Hultén to Tristan Torres to Alexander Fortes for reasons we will not get into here. Somehow the pyjamas escaped Bernardo Dinis and Vicente Neves after they were nominated every single time, but were each acquitted in the tour courts … who knows how? The boys were being quite wise by now though, and they were many nominees scurrying for Jens de Pooter as their defence lawyer, as he always seemed to get people off at will with his clear and believable defence. There is a future lawyer In the making here. I wish I had appointed him, as my lawyer later that night, as I was nominated along with the other coaches when we reached the hotel. The charge was completely made up, and clutching at thin air would have been an understatement, but it was very clear that one of the coaches had to wear it, and after the head coach Mr Craig Monaghan threw me under the bus the fate fell on me. After a quick birthday cake celebration with Afonso number 2 it was bed-time, and another amazing day on tour in Rome came to an end.
Sunday arrived and the day's mission was to visit the Coliseum. After wearing the pink pyjamas for breakfast they were handed over to Vicente Neves. He could not escape the whole weekend, it was a bridge too far for the poor chap. By this time Jens was charging exorbitant fees for his skills and Vicente could not afford him. We had a wonderful time at the Coliseum and we even had a guided tour to learn all about the history of this great place. We had one last lunch in town at our favourite tour hotspot ´The Trevi Fountain´. There was a final opportunity for a wearer of the pink pyjamas - Sean Henniker-Heaton. It was well deserved, but I have to say Lars Kusse was very lucky this time. It went down to a tie break vote, as it was an overall tie, and Sean lost out. After lunch we took a walk back to our hotel and our bus collected us about 4.00pm to take us to the airport and homeward to Lisbon.
It is difficult to explain to those who are not on these tours, what they mean. Rugby is a unique sport that gives opportunities to people that other sports do not. There is brotherhood, teamwork and passion. Not just that, but it teaches you about the life skills that as a youngster you need to develop. These tours are integral in this journey. The boys will never forget this experience. They have conducted themselves in an outstanding manner and forged a bond forever.


According to the government of the United Kingdom, Scottish Limited Partnerships (SLPs) are being exploited by overseas criminal gangs. Initially, SLPs were introduced in 1907 to help Scottish farmers.
The government research revealed that one laundering scheme used 100 different SLPs to shift USD 80bn in Russian money in just 4 years.
The proposals are the latest in ministers' attempts to crack down on dirty money as part of a wide-ranging response to Russia in the wake of the Salisbury nerve agent attack.
The plans are aimed to ensure that SLPs are being used only by legitimate businesses, users will have to prove they have a genuine connection to the UK and are running a company or maintaining an address in Scotland. Under the current rules, anyone in the world is able to register an SLP. The proposed changes will mean that anyone setting up a limited partnership will have to pass anti-money laundering checks.
While many SLPs are owned by legitimate businesses, government research suggests others have been part of complex attempts to launder the proceeds of criminal activities.
The United States politicians question Trump ties to scandal-struck Panama real estate project. The Panama City project is said to have earned the President between USD 30-50 million.
Two members of Congress have asked the Trump Organisation to reveal if it knew about allegations that real estate agents and investors linked to a project bearing the President's name in Panama, had ties to money laundering and drugs. Democratic congresswoman Norma Torres and congressman Eliot Engel asked if the company, founded by Donald Trump and run by his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr since their father entered the White House, was aware of the claims relating to the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City. They asked what due diligence was done on investors and agents involved in the project, which has earned Mr Trump between USD 30 and 50 million for lending his name to it.
The Trump Organisation have not responded to enquiries immediately.

Managing your personal finances isn't as easy as it seems. Rising prices and an uncertain economic climate make the challenges even greater, which is why it's important that you take steps to get a firm handle on your money needs, assessing your situation, and making the appropriate changes. The key is simplification, and with the right steps, it's much easier to manage your money more productively and safely. If you're looking for ways to keep your finances organized, here are the top three tips that might just keep your wallet full and your financial worries at a minimum.
It may sound almost redundant in the days of online banking and mobile phone consumerism, but making a note of what and where you are spending your money can be hugely beneficial. Being able to see just where you're spending your money (and the amounts) will go a long way to giving you a much greater insight into your monthly budget. Budgeting needn't be a complicated process, and it doesn't have to mean denying yourself treats either. It's more a case of simply knowing how much money you have coming in, and how much is going out. It sounds basic perhaps, but far too many people have higher outgoings than income, and that's where the problems start. Look at your list of purchases over the last month and see if there are any regular buys which are simply not necessary, and make adjustments to ensure that your money coming in is not overshadowed by the money that then goes out over the course of the month.
Having a personal financial advisor is essential if you're looking at investments or are wondering about your future. Depending on your needs, the right financial advisor can help you to manage even the most complicated of situations and is very well-placed to help you make long-term targets. The right financial advisor will start with a fact-finding check that will cover the full scope of your situation and give them a greater insight into your potential financial growth. There are a variety of financial advisor types, and finding the one that best suits your situation is the first step to a better, more stable future. Look for specialists in your area of interest, and browse a dedicated portal like Buffert (Buffert.se) so that you are better able to take advantage of a dedicated level of experience and insider insights. Those insights will not only mean that you gain access to better advice but also give your finances an extra layer of added protection as well.
It can be very tricky to weigh up the cost benefits of either renting or buying goods and services. Buying items is often (but not always) cheaper in the long-term, whether it's property, a car, or an entertainment system in your living room. Is it worth spending money on a lawnmower if you only use it for two months of the year? That's where your initial cost analysis will come in handy. Check your expenditures and make sure that you are not paying out for something that you simply don't need. Taking the lawnmower as an example, it might be much cheaper to rent one from a local garden center (or even a neighbor). Cost analysis is essential when it comes to making a final decision between renting and buying, and the larger the cost value, the more important that decision becomes.
When it comes to your money matters, the most important thing is being honest with yourself about your current situation and where you want to be in the coming years. Having the facts will make all of your decisions considerably easier, and you'll stand a much better chance of being able to build a comfortable bank balance that will protect your future.

Q: const_iterator vs iterator for std::list Is there any major difference between const_iterator and iterator implementations for std::list except operator* and operator->. Below you can see my non-templated homework-style example to show the gist. As much as I understand the rest of the methods just copy each-other for these classes, such as CTOR, operator==, operator!=, operator++, operator++(int), operator--, operator--(int).
class iterator
{
private:
    Node* m_node;

public:
    iterator(Node* node)
        : m_node(node)
    {

    }

    int& operator*()
    {
        return m_node->value;
    }

    Node* operator->()
    {
        return m_node;
    }

 ....
}

Now const iterator implementation
class const_iterator
{
private:
    Node* m_node;

public:
    const_iterator(Node* node)
        : m_node(node)
    {

    }

    int operator*() const
    {
        return m_node->value;
    }

    const Node* operator->() const
    {
        return m_node;
    }
......
}

If this is the major difference, then we should handle the duplication too, right?

A: You are missing a few things described below, and the class is not "templetized" yet, but the approach is the same as what one implementation of the Standard Template Library is using.

*

*Both iterators need a default constructor - this provides a way to make a null iterator, which you can assign later

*const_iterator must be constructible from iterator - Add a constructor to const_iterator to accept "regular" iterator.

As far as code duplication is concerned, this is a fair observation indeed. However, most implementations fit on a single line, and return different types, so trying to share implementations across the two templates would make the code harder to read.

Listen To How An Author's Fight For Family Redefined Him In New Podcast
According to b CAUSE, Yang hopes "his story and its unique perspective might give others the agency they need in their lives to face the unthinkable and know that authentic success and happiness is possible, if yet still unrecognizable." Photo Credit: Sandro Art Photography
Ted Yang's Table for Five, A Father's Story of Life, Love and Loss is first and foremost a memoir of a father's fight for his family—for their health, happiness and very existence. But it's also how the experience of premature triplets, loss, and near-constant stress of life-or-death situations changed him both personally as well as professionally.
Yang shares his evolution from high-powered finance guy to all-in father and entrepreneur with Nicole Licata Grant, co-host of the b CAUSE with Erin and Nicole podcast, in an episode called "You Have To Ask Yourself How Far You Are Willing To Go with Ted Yang," which is available now at Apple Podcasts. With b CAUSE, Grant and co-host Erin Hatzikostas offer unique, inspirational solutions to those rising in their careers that want to retain their authenticity and not sell their souls for success.
Yang is a perfect fit.
A podcast that's there to "help you have a big career, without compromising who you are."
bCAUSE with Erin & Nicole/Apple Podcasts
He and Grant know each other from Connecticut "philanthropy" circles—but don't use that word around Yang. He'd rather talk about "entrepreneurship for good" as well as his family's story and how he hopes the personally cathartic experience of sharing it can help other parents, fathers especially.
Yang is a "fixer": tell him a problem, he'll find the solution. But there was nothing he could do to keep Raymond alive, Sofia breathing through her mouth and nose or Daniel's diagnosis of autism at bay.
"Being entirely powerless like that, is a somewhat unique experience," Yang shared with Grant. "You're living within a blueprint that someone else has laid out for you."
Table for Five will be released on Nov 17, World Prematurity Day.
The memoir is available for pre-order now at Amazon.

Sandra Graham: School Diversity Advocate
Sandra Graham, Ph.D., believes that more research will help encourage education policy makers to promote more diversity.
by Melanie Gaball
For 10 years, Sandra Graham, Ph.D., Presidential Chair in Education and Diversity at UCLA, has been working on a study to evaluate how diversity in middle schools affects students' social interactions and success. She hopes her findings will help encourage policy makers to promote more diversity in K-12 schools, and shared some of what she has discovered.
Give us a little bit of background on your research.
We wanted to study the benefits and challenges of going to diverse schools. We are doing this because even though the population is getting more diverse, schools are not. There was a lot of activity in the '60s and '70s in getting schools unsegregated, but that all started to change in the '80s. Our argument as social psychologists is that we need more research with cutting-edge methods – and not just with African American and white students – in order to make a case to policy makers that diversity is beneficial.
What are the findings so far?
When we've looked across schools, we have found that children tend to feel less vulnerable at schools that are more diverse. There is less victimization. Victimization is when one population has more power than others, and this is often because of numerical representation. The key is a balance of power and students making cross-ethnic friendships. However, the challenge is that just having the opportunity to make cross-ethnic friendships isn't enough, because kids prefer to be friends with people who are more like them. Schools have to systematically encourage friendships to be made.
What are some of the challenges students face at diverse schools?
Even in diverse schools, some ethnic groups are a small minority. For students to feel like they belong at a school, there must be a critical mass of their racial/ethnic group. Schools need to be thoughtful about limiting segregation within the school. For example, academic tracking, which is prevalent in schools, limits the mixing opportunities in the classroom. Studies have shown that Advanced Placement classes tend have mostly white and Asian students. The lack of diversity in the classroom affects the ability for a minority student to feel like they belong, and they also may not have the same payoff when taking those classes.
What is the next step for your research?
We are now spending more time looking at the transition from middle school to high school. We have found that many students attend middle schools that have a large representation of their racial group, but filter into high schools and suddenly become a smaller minority. We want to know how this affects their feelings of belonging and ability to succeed in high school, where the stakes become a lot higher academically.
Another questions is, how does students' distance from the school affect their sense of belonging? This also may affect their ability to do extracurricular activities that require students to stay late after school and come early. Many schools have reduced funding for busing, and if students stay late for activities, their parents have to hire a private busing service or be available to pick up their kids. Extracurricular activities are often highly segregated as well.
What is your ultimate goal?
We know that exposure to diversity helps you become a better person. We want to see how diversity in schools helps students be more involved in civil engagements. When they turn 18, are they exercising their right to vote? Ultimately, we want to be able to sit with policy makers and show them that there is a compelling interest to promote ethnic and racial diversity in K-12 schools, so we are doing rigorous research with large sample sizes that cannot be easily dismissed.

The new teacher was coloured a deep and tender brown, like some smiling Indian goddess, and was certainly as beautiful. She was perhaps 24, was hopelessly mesmerising, and I was only four years old. This was in 1955, so if she is alive today she would be an inconceivable 85. Miss Georgina Salmon had a missing middle finger on one hand, and that was at least one symbol of her radical allure. Her absent digit, that notness, was almost as hypnotising as the plenitude of her wasness, by which I mean her Istigkeit or isness, the rest of her body that was whole and perfect. I thought that something from heaven had arrived in my bleak village and assumed she was here for ever. For goddesses are permanent and enduring, not capricious, or at least not the ones that I knew of or imagined. Besides her arched bow smile was so infinitely kind and so full and so brown. She wore a deal of make-up on her sumptuous tan, and was more exotic than anything I had ever seen. Some twenty years later I found her kind again in the pages of Sanskrit poetry, women with their chariot wheel hips and plantain tree thighs and water pot breasts, and their mrinala filament lips. She was also a nitambini, for her skirt held a perfectly curving and sinuous behind, one even an infant would be riveted by. At four I might not desire her sexually, but to be sure I still desired her. For years afterwards, up until I was about 8, I would dream of being there in my bed with Georgina Salmon, the pair of us naked, and she hugging me to her breasts with consummate and endless tenderness.
She was the first woman I ever fell in love with, and I thought she would be there in my hampered world for evermore. She disappeared one day and her dreary opposite, Miss Ball who was twice her age, dark and sour yet amiable by unpredictable turn, returned to the infant school. I grieved but only for a while as four year-olds with few exceptions cannot predict tomorrow, nor think of the future, and are sited in a kind of eternal present of which Miss Salmon had been a tender, delectable part and Miss Ball the obverse. Miss Ball was as mad as the best of them, and as well as giving huge slabs of cake to the children who did their sums well, thus leaving the innumerate hungry and envious, even murderous, she had rules so arbitrary she should have run a prison camp. One day we had to practise writing the numeral 4, and I wrote it down with the top angle joined as opposed to open. Unfortunately, she had done it on the blackboard with it open, and at a less acute inclination. We had been told like her to write ten of these numerals and Miss Ball indulged a sullen rage at my unorthodox beauties, and accused me of being a little clever dick who could not do what he was told.
"Why do you always have to be different?" she snorted, parading her twitching old snout a half inch from mine. "Why not be like the rest of the world? D' you really think you might be too good for us?"
She disliked the fact I was very clever, but was also vicariously boastful, as if it was largely down to her splendid pedagogic means. In all good faith I had intended to please her with something different and original, and present her with a visibly more attractive number 4. She made me write them all twenty times her way, cross out my heretical efforts, and generally wish I were anywhere than in this listless and primitive hothouse. On the hypnotic shore of the Solway Firth for example, opposite the hazy peak of Criffel in Dumfriesshire, or up in the scented forests which surrounded the village and enclosed the woodland pits closed and sealed up over fifty years ago.
I knew plenty of bliss in those days, as well as plenty of melancholy. The forests and the seashore were both a kind of paradise, especially the woods, as they were nearly always empty of people. There was some fallow pastureland called Bottlefield that lay beyond the colliery, and in the lee of the forest. It was massive and sloping and fertile and cut off from the world, and there I experienced the profound tenderness of the natural world, especially in the generous mist of solitude. I might have been accompanied by an older brother, but I was always happily and profoundly by myself. On its edge and close to the village was polluting industry at its ugliest, a sprawling chemical works that produced carbon disulphide and made everything around it streaked with tar. The tar was diverted into the sea below, just as the pit sent much of its detritus there. Hence the existence of the tar beck and the pit beck, with no less than three bedfellows, the comically rickety shit pipes that released raw sewage into the innocent Solway Firth well into the late 1950s.
In 2016, I still dream twice a month of the nearby Grammar School which I left in 1969. I dream of the infants' never, and of the junior school only once a year. The two buildings were contiguous, a massive nineteenth century edifice, with malodorous outside lavatories and massive tarmacked playgrounds. My dreams of the junior school are always about its perplexing geography, and doubtless this represents my questing and puzzled inner journey of the time. It was a poor village with a notable population of gipsy kids who had settled in some rank former pit terraces just outside the forests. One of them Benny Warcop, a permanent inch of foul snot on display, started a schoolyard fight with me, and was egged on by his bawling acolytes. The two of us closed for the combat like two gormless apes, but both were such cowards it was in effect a protracted war dance. Benny tried to distract all eyes from his panic by resorting to boastful hyperbole.
"I'm gonna knock this ugly bugger till the bloody moon and back!"
What he actually said was, Az ganna bray yon uckly bugger till t'bliddy myeun an back! but the trouble with faithfully rendered dialect is it has as many detractors as admirers, unless you happen to be DH Lawrence and hit the nail on the head as no one else has ever done. In any case it was all pure baloney, and in 1961 the gipsy lad was praying for intervention as much as I. Our salvation was booming Willy Dane, the dry and unflinching Deputy Head, who grabbed our necks and frogmarched us scornfully to the Headmistress, Millicent Hogget. We might have been caned on the hand, but instead she simply harangued us in a bored kind of way, and admonished me for being a fighter when really I should be a peacemaker if only to go with my enormous brains.
"Have you heard of the CND, Sonny?" she asked me with a frown and of course I hadn't a clue. "The Campaign for ah. Have you heard of what do you call them, Willy, are they called Sputniks with the hair down to the ground?"
Willy realised she meant Beatniks though true to form he himself preferred Sputniks to Beatniks.
"Beatniks? Sputniks? I don't understand," she sighed with eyes firmly closed as if communing with the wisdom of her sacred inner self. Whenever Milly harangued or argued a point it was always with eyes tightly shut, and she is not the only one who uses this beguiling narcoleptic technique as a lifelong strategy. Milly the Hogg was a spinster of 58 born 1902 and would remain one till her dying hour. The most joyous day of her entire life was on the 6th of May 1960, when Princess Margaret wedded the eminent photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, which is curious on reflection given our Head who kept her eyes firmly closed was not the uxorious kind. Perhaps she thought of the sole acceptable union as one involving colossal social, nay regal elevation, which in a village like ours was not even a distant dream.
I could go without end on about my childhood, the deep joys as well as the insoluble agonies which were so much a part of being a late and unplanned child. But I have already done it copiously elsewhere, and there is no point in duplicating what everyone knows. The best description of early childhood in any known literature past or present or future, is Jean Le Bleu, by Jean Giono of Provence, translated perfectly into resonant English as Blue Boy. The book could never be bettered, as every word and every line and every page, is imbued with the pure and penetrating spirit of someone who has been vividly a small child like no other. Giono has been dead for nearly half a century, and Blue Boy is read by almost no one outside of France, and even within his native land there are few who would care to peruse it.
If you are a prose genius, you can of course sing till you are blue in your face, blue as a blue boy in your bursting blue face, and no white nor pink nor anaemic and zestless bastard will willingly consent to listen. They would sooner check their phone or check their heart or check their cholesterol or check their internet bank balance. If they have a small child and the surly rebellious child defeats them, they will check the child with perhaps a clout and an admonition. They will check the urgent flow of blood from and to the heart, of both their children and themselves, and their incredulous spouse. If you are one of those laudable ones who are always wary and ever canny and put your precious family first, you keep things in check and you monitor the ebbs and flows of your fiscal security, and if you are an American you write a check to confirm it, or at least you did so when Jean Giono was in his prime.
Everybody hates these antique things called cheques these days, which is a story in itself and will be so until the end of time.

Hi, so far there have been no announcements from his agency or the media about any plans after "Healer". Other than announcements about new projects, details of any fan meeting or fan signs are usually announced quite last minute, so it probably depends on your luck if your travel dates do coincide with any of his activities. We do have a schedule page (found among the featured posts at our Home page) that we update as and when there are new announcements.

Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act
'I'm glad that, after needless political delays, our Democratic colleagues finally allowed a first procedural vote on this legislation. I'm proud to support its provisions that concern Israel, Jordan, and Syria. And I will be proud to offer this amendment so the Senate can speak equally clearly on the fight against al Qaeda, ISIS, and other bad actors that needs to continue in both Syria and Afghanistan.'
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks on the Senate floor regarding the S. 1 foreign policy legislation that he introduced with Senators Rubio, Risch and Gardner, and obstruction from Senate Democrats:
"Yesterday afternoon, Senate Democrats finally dropped their filibuster of S.1, the Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act. It took 24 days and four cloture votes, but enough of my Democratic colleagues have now voted to advance this important legislation concerning America's role in the world.
"As I've mentioned before, the bill would reaffirm our nation's commitment to Israel's security through military assistance, cooperative missile defense, and loan guarantees. It would deepen our ties of strategic cooperation with Jordan, as the security and humanitarian ramifications of the Syrian civil war continue to take their toll. And the legislation also includes the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, which would hold accountable those who have enabled and carried out the butchery of the Assad regime.
"But I'd like to take a few moments this morning to discuss an amendment that I plan to propose, as well. It would expand on the legislation and take a further step to emphasize the need for American leadership in our troubled world – particularly with respect to our ongoing fight against al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Afghanistan. My amendment would acknowledge the plain fact that al Qaeda, ISIS, and their affiliates in Syria and Afghanistan continue to pose a serious threat to our nation. It would recognize the danger of a precipitous withdrawal from either conflict, and highlight the need for diplomatic engagement and political solutions to the underlying conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan.
"We have seen the costs of a precipitous withdrawal before in Iraq. And in Afghanistan, we have seen the downsides of telling the enemy they can just wait us out. So my amendment would also urge continued commitment from the U.S. military and our partners until we have set the conditions for the enduring defeat of these vile terrorists. This measure would reflect the conclusions of our nation's military and national security professionals. It would speak directly to our allies, and reassure our local partners who are doing the bulk of the fighting against a shared enemy. Simply put, while it is tempting to retreat to the comfort and security of our own shores, there is still a great deal of work to be done. And we know that left untended, these conflicts will reverberate in our own cities.
"We are not the world's policeman. But we are the leader of the free world. And it is incumbent upon the United States to lead, to continue to maintain a global coalition against terror, and to stand by our local partners who are engaged in a daily fight against the terrorists. My amendment would further condemn Iran for its hampering of diplomatic efforts and its destabilizing work throughout the region.
"It would call for greater consultation with the United States' allies and partners in the region, especially Israel, with regard to future stability we seek in a critical region. And it would reiterate the importance of the administration consulting and coordinating with the Congress on its long-term strategies for success in these struggles -- including a thorough accounting of the risks of withdrawing too hastily.
"I'm glad that, after needless political delays, our Democratic colleagues finally allowed a first procedural vote on this legislation. I'm proud to support its provisions that concern Israel, Jordan, and Syria. And I will be proud to offer this amendment so the Senate can speak equally clearly on the fight against al Qaeda, ISIS, and other bad actors that needs to continue in both Syria and Afghanistan."

DENTAL VACATION Travel Agency cooperates with TOP rated certified Dental clinics in Ukraine. Our best experienced dentists provide high quality dental care according to the most progressive & reliable techniques. The treatment is totally painless, and is provided by modern technological dental equipment.
Endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) is a painless dental procedure used to treat infection at the root canal system. It is necessary when the nerve in tooth is injured or diseased, and is performed in order to repair the tooth and provide pain relief to the patient. The root surgery has to be performed by a professional dentist only, using Dental Operation Microscope. The damaged or dead nerve tissue will be carefully cleaned out to completely remove any lingering bacteria. The tooth will then be prepared so that it can be filled with a special material. The tooth is then sealed, and a new crown is added to the rebuilt tooth to ensure the aesthetic qualities are maintained.
Dental Restoration or white filling is used to fix the problem with your teeth, relieve pain and pressure, repair tooth decay, fractures, or otherwise damaged surfaces of the teeth. Dental filling may be used to even out tooth surfaces for better biting or chewing. You may choose "tooth-colored" white composite/porcelain fillings or gold/silver amalgam restorations. Dental filling is used either to repair small tooth damages or even to restore the tooth totally.

Colleague Q&A: Armed With Information
Peer Perspectives
Data is key in responding to COVID-19.
It's easy to see the critical roles our physicians, nurses and other front-line staff play during a prolonged public health emergency. But many colleagues are behind the scenes—including a dynamic, innovative group of business intelligence specialists, software developers and scientists led by Chief Data Officer Dr. Edmund Jackson.
Part of the Clinical Services Group, his team has invested countless hours developing products to support COVID-19 preparedness and response, devising ways to leverage the value of statistics to help keep our colleagues safe and ensure the best care for patients. One of the newest tools—the COVID-19 National Response Portal (NRP)—resulted from a partnership between HCA Healthcare, Google Cloud and SADA Systems. It enables healthcare providers to securely share anonymous numbers pertaining to ICU bed and ventilator supply and use, test results and total visits to U.S. hospital systems.
Here, Edmund discusses the data science team's important work during this extraordinary time.
Edmund Jackson, Ph.D., Chief Data Officer, HCA Healthcare, Nashville, Tenn.
How has COVID-19 altered what you do every day? Presumably it's been a challenge unlike any other.
Edmund: In the same way that [former U.S. Defense Secretary] Donald Rumsfeld spoke about 'unknown unknowns,' COVID-19 feels like an 'unlike unlike.' It's unlike everything else that was unlike normality before. We've all learned how to operate in much leaner, faster ways, and my teams have formed bonds with other teams that weren't there before. We're a stronger team of teams coming out of this first phase of COVID-19 than going into it.
What is your main task in assisting colleagues at the hospital level who take care of COVID-19 patients?
The data science teams focus on bringing our colleagues actionable data and analysis. So our main contribution to the COVID-19 effort was coroNATE, which provided real-time, organized intelligence around COVID-19 patients for every bed in the organization. The other piece was collaborating with leadership to create projections of the likely COVID-19 impact in our hospitals over time. By combining the operational experience, skills and data of the enterprise, we gained confident, early insight that this was not going to be as bad as many expected, which enabled us to react efficiently and well.
We use coroNATE daily, as the technology helps us to more accurately predict volume changes and ensure that our team is better prepared for the urgent needs of our patients.
— Scott Montgomery, COO, Lakeview Regional Medical Center, Covington, La.
Is there an aspect of your "usual" job—or any training or experience—that helped prepare you for this?
The central element of HCA Healthcare's preparation was having trust in another [person] already in place. We have the great strength of many tenured people who have faced a lot together, so they can mobilize and execute rapidly because they know and trust another's expertise. This was really on display throughout the organization during the response. We were not specifically prepared for COVID-19, but we are always ready for whatever comes at us. For data science, I'd say the team's prior focus on building platforms put us in a good place when the pandemic hit. We spent two years building the platform [SPOT—Sepsis Prediction and Optimization of Therapy—into NATE] so when we needed new products every two weeks, we were able to deliver. That and the existing dedication and spirit of the team prepared us to go to war together against COVID-19.
The data portal sounds like a major development. Can you compare it to the impact that SPOT has hadon the clinical side?
The NRP was conceived in the early days of the pandemic, when we realized that we needed to be able to coordinate in a low-friction way with our sister healthcare facilities through a shared, open national data platform. We were preparing for scaled, high-stress coordination under surge conditions. Fortunately, the surge we feared was suppressed through really effective social distancing, so the initial need for the NRP has dissolved. However, the question now is about the national restart. I foresee the NRP serving as an impartial, data-based platform to manage the reopening and detect any resurgences early.
Is there a primary lesson learned from all of this?
It's not a new lesson, but another example of HCA Healthcare living up to our mission. I've participated in normal and emergency operations several times now, and the organization always turns up the same way with vigor, resources and absolute dedication to patient care. Beyond that, we've now sustained operating with previously unthinkable speed and precision. That sets a new bar, and, as I said earlier, gives us the keys to post-COVID-19 success.

A common usage of paths is SVG, which supports operations like clipping and compositing. Path manipulation APIs are available on every platform like the Web, iOS and of course, Android. Many developers don't realize that they can take advantage of these APIs to create great visual effects.
In the talk, Rakshak will explore some effects created using Paths, deconstruct their behaviour and reproduce them using the Path Operations API. He'll also look at backporting some Path operations to as low as API 1.
Rakshak works with Uncommon in Bangalore, helping clients build clean and well-tested apps. He started using Kotlin a year before official Android support, fell in love, and became an active supporter.

Formula One race 2010 to take place in India
Formula One race 2010 will take place in India, the head of the Indian Olympic Association said Monday.
"Formula One's architects visited New Delhi and saw several sites in the National Capital Region. They did an aerial survey and selected two sites - in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh and Sohna in Haryana," IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi told reporters.
Both areas are suburbs of New Delhi and it's been left to India to choose between the two shortlisted venues, he said.
Kalmadi said he met with Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone in London last week to discuss the matter in detail.
"We're happy to say that the first race has been finalized for 2010," Kalmadi said.
Formula One handed India two contracts - one a race promotion contract and the second a circuit rights agreement, Kalmadi said.
Earlier this year Kalmadi said F1 may come to the country by 2009.
The New Delhi area does not currently have a motor racing track, but Kalmadi said the IOA, together with the government, would build one. In the past he ruled out a street race.
While F1 is not an Olympic event, the IOA is involved as part of its attempt to bring as many major sporting events as possible to New Delhi ahead of the city's staging of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
